Off-Campus Facilities

As of July 1, 2010, the use of off-campus facilities for meetings, conferences, retreats requires prior approval. If you are planning an off-campus meeting in the future, you need to ask for an exemption for off-campus facility rentals. If you already have an off-campus meeting planned, you STILL need to ask for an exemption for off-campus facility rentals, regardless of having a reservation on hold, a contract signed, deposit paid, or paid in full. The form is available: exemption request form. Frequently asked questions are answered in FAQ. The exemption request form MUST be signed by either Russ or myself and also requires Dean's office signatures. The Dean's office will submit the request to the UW Office of Planning and Budgeting, who will, in turn, submit the request to the State OFM Office.
TIMING: The State OFM Office requires receipt of the form at least 10 days in advance of the rental date. Plan for 18 WORKING DAYS MINIMUM processing time to get through the UW, to the state, and back to us with the final approval.
